As you may have realised from previous posts I am a big fan of Vimeo. Another reason to love them is their Vimeo Video School video series. If you are interested in filming, video effects, cameras or just about anything that involves motion design then you will want to check out their videos. They are literally overflowing with great motion design and film ideas.
One trick I have seen a number of times but never fully understood is the swipe cut. The swipe cut is an easy trick to connect two separate shots into one seamless sequence. In order to achieve the effect quickly pan out of your first shot and then pan back in to your second shot. When it’s time to edit, find a similar blurred frame from each pan, then splice them together at those points to create a transition between the two shots.
